i know parents all over who will, at times, leave their kids alone. it’s not inherently a terrible thing. but cruises are super dangerous with many hazards. so i understand why leaving kids alone on a cruise is a terrible idea. they are very lucky their boys weren’t abducted.
@@laur83 Leaving 1 & 2 year olds alone (allegedly) is ALWAYS a TERRIBLE thing. Always. You cannot leave them home and go 10 minutes down the road to a restaurant and have dinner there watching the baby monitor. It is illegal, and this is the same as going to dinner on a cruise ship. They are huge - and you cannot get back to the room in an emergency.

Here’s a thought, if your kids aren’t “allowing you” to have adult dinners, don’t have adult dinners. Yes it’s a vacation but you brought your children with you, they’re your responsibility no matter where you are in the world. That’s super fucked up idc. My kids are even at photo sessions with me (I’m a photographer) they are MY responsibility. I’d never leave my children unattended especially on a cruise.

Ive cruised. Several times. There's not a room on that ship that only 10 feet away from the dining room. And God forbid there was a fire onboard, and they're trying to run against people fleeing to get to their kids. Theres so many things that could've gone wrong. They're absolutely lying. And bad on the other adults that thought this was ok and dined with them while the kids slept.

@@Layl3y how is it bragging? So weird the way you’re seeing it. They had monitors on them. What if family is 2-3 doors down and they are willing to be the ones on high alert the moment one of their kids wakes up. You weren’t there and you aren’t the parent. We don’t hangout in the same room when our kids are sleeping with our eyes wide open waiting for any little movement. We aren’t even conscious when our kids sleep at night. Is that negligent as well? To sleep and be totally unconscious while our kids sleep in their own crib? I don’t think you have kids 😅 there is a stage where you can’t sleep because you’re constantly worried about your baby sleeping and if they are breathing, it is a thing but you realize as they grow that it’s okay and you have to let go and get used to the feeling of “they are okay and they are sleeping”. They have monitors and family is with them on this cruise as well. They are taking the responsibility of being on high alert even while having dinner together.
My question is if they " really " had a family member. Watching their kids. Why on Earth would they have to FaceTime the baby monitors? Like did they not trust the family members watching their kids? Also one last thing is on her post. It clearly said 5 nights. However in their video. He clearly said it was 7 days. So to me which one was it?
Right!!!!! That’s exactly what I said when they claimed there was someone in the room mind you, they were in 2 different rooms so were there 2 different people supposedly watching them? No. It’s a lie. It’s all a lie to cover themselves. These narcissistic idiots don’t deserve their children. The children don’t deserve these idiots.
@@genesisansbro4936 right. But they were still alone. In a room. On a cruise. ALONE!!! And these people are famous. Anyone could have been watching for when they left the rooms to take those babies.
@@emmagardiner8890 when my kids sleep I am not in the same room as they are 😅 I could be downstairs, in the kitchen, in the garage, outside doing chores. I am not staring at them while they sleep in the same room waiting for them to wake up or flinch.
@@genesisansbro4936which is fine; but do you leave the house to go to dinner? You realize plenty of people have come out and spoke about how busy it gets on a ship during meal times so even if they hopped over bodies and ran it can take atleast 15 minutes to get back. Somehow I doubt you being in your yard would take as long. Nor do I imagine your house is full of strangers who are drinking/doing whatever drugs just casually around the room of your sleeping kids. But go off sis with your unrelated commentary.
I wholeheartedly disagree with the person saying "you don't owe anyone an explanation or an apology". That is is a highly immature and childish way of thinking. Whether they care or not, people will follow them and learn by example. Some parents may think this is a cool new hack to go out while you leave your children alone. They may even think to leave the children for longer as long as they're watching them through cameras or baby monitors. Of course at the end of the day, it is entirely the parents' responsibility but if they had any conscience, this should weigh on their shoulders.
I just don’t really believe someone was ACTUALLY watching these children. They made such a big deal about how they weren’t able to have alone time together the entire time why couldn’t someone watch them before that ? It doesn’t make any sense. I genuinely feel like they are lying
I mean there should be backlash, you abandoned your children! Like they left their “house” to go to a restaurant and only had a baby monitor to watch them.
@@leew2400 my children sleep in their room alone every night… I sleep in a different room. Some people do this to newborns and walk into another room and are fully unconscious because they go to sleep. They have monitors and who’s to say that family wasn’t 2-3 doors down. Why does someone need to be in the same room as the child that is sleeping. Only a highly paranoid parent would sit in the same room and watch them sleep waiting for them to wake up.
@@genesisansbro4936 Are you comparing being in another room in the same house, to leaving to a restaurant?? Because that’s what they did. They went to dinner at a restaurant.
@@leew2400 again you don’t know if a family member was close by and ready for the phone call “they’re awake, we’re going to finish up and be there in 15 minutes”. I don’t know this either but I can’t sit here and say “they’re lying, they’re covering up” like that’s so unfair and straight jumping to conclusions and going off of what you saw in short clips that are edited and taken at different time frames 😂
I just commented the same damn thing LMFAO it’s givingI little kid waiting on dad to stop talking. It’s literally giving abuse though it’s really messed up.
Look… they had no adults there and they packed for this trip with the intent to leave the kids alone - why else would anyone ever pack their baby monitors??? Those are for the home when you’re leaving your child unattended in a room. Period.
They’re 💯 lying. Shes a terrible liar, it’s just like when she said she wasn’t “hurt” when he said it was different “pre-kid” to “after kid/s”… they should’ve just hired P.R 🤦🏼♀️😆 use your social media currency elsewhere, the math isn’t mathing. They “watched” their kids via FaceTime. So all you moms can go to the “bar around the block” as long as your on FaceTime 🤦🏼♀️ (Joking, Clearly).
They are so lying. No WAY they didn’t plan to leave those kids unattended, even showed proof on her story then deleted it because backlash. WOW. Nice try. We see through it
I don't believe them. None of it makes any type of sense lol. You can tell she's been crying before they started filming (stress from all the backlash im sure) and I believe her & her husband came up with a story to back themselves up. You made a horrible mistake, just own up to it, nobody is perfect. You have to learn from this.
If my math is mathing they would need 3 phones to pull this off, one in the room to FaceTime the monitors, one in hand to be on the other end of face time and one to take picture of phone being used?
Five phones? the kids were in separate rooms so two phones one in each room, two that are called into each rooms phone and the fifth to take the pic? Wild
@@dabsallday9938 if they have an app to see the monitors on their phone why say they were FACETIMING THEM? To FaceTime another phone would have to be in the room.
If they were ridiculous enough to bring baby monitors to a cruise then I wouldn’t put it past them to bring some old phones to keep in the room connected to WiFi to use FaceTime.
I believe they deleted ALL the videos from their vacation so nobody could piece together who was with who at what time. They're only back peddling now because I can just imagine the influx of calls to CPS about the situation.
She would have mentioned that someone was watching them when she posted the original IG story. She would have said something about getting a sitter so they could have a dinner on their own. If it is rage bait, shame on them for using their kids as pawns.
If one wakes up, the other doesn't get woken up. Only one crying baby at a time, other is resting. Mom sleeps with one, dad with the other. Pretty common practice for tired families. No need for everyone to walk around like a zombie if one munchkin has a rough night. But that shouldn't be the conversation. If they left their kids alone, with no family members in a room next to their rooms... That's rookie mistake and they need to use more imagination/common sense and care more about their kids. Though they're influencers, airing out their whole life... how concerned with safety can they be if they decided to keep that up after their kids were born.
Nahh Abby posted it thinking it was a cute mom hack and now the backlash has them both backtracking. She's always stuck with the kids because Matt is the most present deadbeat of all time but this is ridiculous. They have more than enough money to hire someone to care for their kids if they want a kid free trip.
the comments on their apology are wild. "really caring parents" yeaaah, who constantly bitch and moan about being parents and having babies.....they're so pressed that they rushed to have kids and now can't have hella date nights and vacations. matt and abby: nobody forced you to have kids! you did this to yourself! you wanted to be young parents but forgot the part where you actually had to parent...😮 being a parent (young or old) IS NOT A TREND. it's now your full-time job for the rest of your life.
Scary thing is, at one point Abby said she wants five kids. They need to start looking after the two they’ve already got! They both still trying to live carefree single lives. They need to grow up and realise they have real responsibilities now!
If we want them to go away block them. I hate rage bait stuff most all influencers are blocked on my socials. I literally could care less what they do and they certainly don’t care about me. Our views give them power take that away.
I’m sorry, but the way Abby just sits staring at him while he talks and his demeanor gives abusive relationship. I mean it’s not the first time that it’s given that, but the body language in this is so awful. It’s not even arguable.
The thing is, yes you are gonna make parenting mistakes. I look back and cringe sometimes at choices I made early in my first kid. But brother Leaving children alone is a NO GO. Not from me , not from anyone . I have a Ex friend who dose this and her parenting is legit what made me stop talking to her. We had been friends since teens. Mistakes are bound to happen, child endangerment, and neglect is horrifying
They clearly dont know about cases like the Mccann's. They also probably thought they found a good solution to enjoy dinner and look at how it ended. Joking or rage bating about this it's very distasteful
Matt is a freaking narcissist I can’t stand him and I wouldn’t be surprised if Abby suffers from a lot of his manipulation. Not that she’s innocent in this matter, I’ve just thought this about Matt for a long time
Those kids are one and two years old. I PROMISE they will be fine at the play area for a couple hours a day for one week that they won’t even remember. I understand not wanting them to be miserable, but it would be better that they’re watched by someone than stuck in a room alone with access to a balcony over the open ocean 🤷🏻♀️
It doesn’t make sense. If someone was in the room, why was their phone on a tripod? And why didn’t she mention that at the time? It’s BS, they’re just annoyed they had to have kids on the cruise.
It crazy that there are people that will defend others that even slightly put their kids in danger … Like women who are on the phone while their children are running around being unsupervised then gets hit by a car & they want to blame everyone but themselves ! Pathetic . He’s weird , she’s weird , it’s giving “why did I have kids , I want to have fun”
The weird thing is they went on a spiel about how all those people were there but they didn't actually name the one person who was watching them at the time. They were like oh Abby's Grandma's there etc etc. Why didn't they say something like oh Abby's Grandma watch the kids while we ate? Or Abby's mom watch the kids while we ate? Because there wasn't actually someone there probably
Agreed, if a family member was watching them then why would they have even posted about the baby monitor instead of just saying “we had great grandma watch them so we could go to dinner”. Also if they truly did have family there, I’d assume they’d have at least one picture with one of them? A quick scroll of her Instagram and you can see Abby has posted her family members before so it’s not like it’s respect for their privacy? I don’t follow either of them so maybe I’m wrong, but assuming they were posting stories throughout the cruise, was there any sign anywhere of family being around? Also a bit off putting that they immediately started posting like normal but have their comments restricted
I would have had more respect for them taking accountability and admitting they had bad justment and made a huge mistake. They should tell their followers not to do what they did and the reasons why. Them lying is just making it worse. The only ones who actually believe them are their delusional followers.
They have left the kid or kids alone before “I can’t remember if their 2nd was in the picture yet) but they left a kid alone to go to the neighbors once for pizza when they just moved in
whaaaaaatttt!!!! I haven’t heard of this yet but holy hell… I WOULD NEVER leave my son by himself ever let alone on a cruise ship. Anyone could have taken them omg I am in shock
Did anyone else clock the "speculate and believe" wording? They 100% (allegedly) consulted a lawyer before posting the video and (allegedly) most likely deleted their vids under advice from a lawyer. But that is just my personal opinion and not intended to be taken as a verified fact at at all. 😉
Anyone who believes or sides with Matt and Abby are delusional! Matt and Abby are known for being selfish and ALWAYS wanting “kid free” vacations, dinners, and alone time. Also to the people who blame them for being “young” is just a poor excuse, it’s common sense to not leave kids alone at all, period! I’m a 20 yr old mother and have NEVER left my baby girls side at all, and that says A LOT. So shame on Matt and Abby and her family for not pulling Abby up and making sure someone was with the boys while they had dinner 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
The thing that gives me the ick about this the most is that they probably posted about this while they were sitting at dinner. In real time. When both of them are famous and on a cruise ship. That alone is just risky as shit if you ask me
I hate to break it to you all.......but it's very common for parents to leave their littles in the room with a monitor while they go upstairs to party on cruise. Shocking, I know. Lmao I don't agree with it, and I personally wouldn't do that with my little one. But this level of backlash is comical. This is what the majority of parents on cruises do.
and thats why lots of kidnappings happen on cruises... besides, I think being influencers broadcasting to the world that they're leaving their kids alone and unattended in a room is practically begging for someone to come and kidnap them
@@spectre9340- I'm not in any way meaning for this to sound negative, I just have truly never heard of someone being kidnapped on a cruise ship. Has this happened recently? Not that I'm leaving my kids alone on a cruise lol I'm genuinely just curious because I've never heard this before.
That’s why they need to go to jail for child endangerment and neglect. Plus they honestly act like the babies ruined their lives. CPS needs to investigate and require parenting classes, because their kids will drown next at this point of how much they neglect them.
I mentioned this to my mum, she raised 3 children between 1997 and 2019 (when her youngest, me, turned 14). During this time, we went for family holidays every now and then. She said that if you go on holiday with your children, the holidays needs to be suitable for the CHILDREN. Someone should always be with your children, whether thats you, a family member or staff of a kids club. Even when at home, my mum would be reluctant to leave 10 year old me just to walk over to the shops, which is a 5 minute walk away. It may be extreme, but at this time there was the jamie bulger case and madeline mccann, so my mum would always have eyes on us. I was a runner as a child, so that made it worse. Still, THEY LEFT 2 CHILDREN ON THEIR OWN
People would do anything for money and notoriety these days even get married and have children when they clearly don’t want it. These two are the epitome of that situation.
It is totally possible that she had family members close by ( not in the room) but someone that could potentially reach the child. It still leaves a lot of scope for errors and risks. Network is shitty onboard, there is crowd and events and rooms are far away. My gripe is also that they should have clarified that they had family close by, in the room etc.if they wanted to declare this as a life hack. I get the vacation was tough with kids although really on a cruise ship you can plan naps, swimming, food many things at your own pace. My issue is promoting ideas like its ok to leave your child alone in a cruise ship is dangerous to many many immature parents. She has followers who could totally try this with bad results.
Its in abbys EYES from the fathers day podcast she seem uncomfortable and its like matt has control over her like he has a g*n behind her telling her what to say, do and act something deffo happening behind the camera My opinion
She wrote exactly what she did! If that's not the case what did she ACTUALLY mean?! They didn't clear anything up They just said "oh I didn't mean what I actually wrote"
I understand they're young and learning but just take ownership of your mistake...also didn't know this but supposedly Matt told Abby she feels "different" down below since birthing 2 kids, like please be a jerk and tell your wife she's looser after kids. He has lots of growing up to do.
It's no question that these two are lying. The math isn't mathing for sure. Abbey's face looks so full of shame like she wishes she never posted any of that.
I can’t stand when parents complain/whine about their vacation because their little kids didn’t enjoy it. The first couple trips we took our daughter on were rough but we still enjoyed it.
Really the blackout tent? How is that going to affect their sleep. They’ll never be able to sleep during the day without their blackout tent. Good job crazy ass millennial parents
IMO, Matt is a bit more of a believable liar, but Abby is not. But that's obviously not a compliment to Matt, it's more concerning he isn't much different than usual. It makes me more worried about what he's capable of lying about. But what gives it away for me is Matt's wording. And obviously Abby not looking at the camera when she never has an issue with that generally. It's the way they're both acting. Him saying "It's simply untrue -" He could just say it's not true at all. He could be a bit more natural sounding. But with Abby, her tone has completely changed, not looking at the camera, has clearly been crying. The overly friendly tone, the exaggerated head nods and being too agreeable and appeasing to the viewers. It's manipulative. All she sounds and looks like is that she got caught. If it wasn't true she wouldn't have any reason to cry. Clearly wearing the all white everyone already knows about. I don't buy it for one second. Obviously it has room to still be untrue, but I think they're both crap at lying.
No bc their original posts make no sense if they had someone in their family watching their kids. Why would they go on and on about how the monitor was the solution to their kids not wanting to go to the nursery if the actual solution was having a baby sitter?
If there was somebody with them then why exactly would they go through all the trouble to set up monitors and FaceTime them? Total bs. They're full of it.
I think they’re lying and backpedaling SO HARD because a lot of the comments were suggesting that people call CPS on them & if that happens then it ruins the imagine they try too hard to create.
I’m gonna be mean but they don’t seem very intellectually inclined. They should know better in general, never post about your kids, never leave your kids unattended, never leave them in unfamiliar surrounding especially in a fkn cruise. The levels and hoops you have to justify child endangerment, because that’s what this is, is crazy. They could have just left them with their grand parents. There’s soooo many ways this oppies could have gone wrong, I’m glad that people are calling them out. Honestly they should be glad this is the worst that happened.
I feel like Matt is ALWAYS .01 seconds away from throwing a full blown tantrum
Omg so true!! He is a big baby
He looks like he be4ts abby behind close doors.
It's true and it triggers my domestic abuse ptsd honestly lol
I get this vibe as well esp with her starring at him like that

@@genesisansbro4936 right. But they were still alone. In a room. On a cruise. ALONE!!! And these people are famous. Anyone could have been watching for when they left the rooms to take those babies.
@@emmagardiner8890 when my kids sleep I am not in the same room as they are 😅 I could be downstairs, in the kitchen, in the garage, outside doing chores. I am not staring at them while they sleep in the same room waiting for them to wake up or flinch.
@@genesisansbro4936which is fine; but do you leave the house to go to dinner? You realize plenty of people have come out and spoke about how busy it gets on a ship during meal times so even if they hopped over bodies and ran it can take atleast 15 minutes to get back. Somehow I doubt you being in your yard would take as long. Nor do I imagine your house is full of strangers who are drinking/doing whatever drugs just casually around the room of your sleeping kids. But go off sis with your unrelated commentary.
Why would they even share this entire scenario in the first place
I think they shared it feeling like they came up with an adult dinner "hack" and it came back to bite them.
Their views were way down, they're probably lowkey happy just to be talked about again.
I wholeheartedly disagree with the person saying "you don't owe anyone an explanation or an apology". That is is a highly immature and childish way of thinking. Whether they care or not, people will follow them and learn by example. Some parents may think this is a cool new hack to go out while you leave your children alone. They may even think to leave the children for longer as long as they're watching them through cameras or baby monitors. Of course at the end of the day, it is entirely the parents' responsibility but if they had any conscience, this should weigh on their shoulders.
Literally, I’ve been seeing so many young parents getting arrested for leaving their kids at home even for a little while by themselves.
I just don’t really believe someone was ACTUALLY watching these children.
They made such a big deal about how they weren’t able to have alone time together the entire time why couldn’t someone watch them before that ?
It doesn’t make any sense.
I genuinely feel like they are lying
I mean there should be backlash, you abandoned your children! Like they left their “house” to go to a restaurant and only had a baby monitor to watch them.
They weren’t abandoned
@@genesisansbro4936 They left their two children alone in the room and went to dinner. Legally this could be considered child abandonment
@@leew2400 my children sleep in their room alone every night… I sleep in a different room. Some people do this to newborns and walk into another room and are fully unconscious because they go to sleep. They have monitors and who’s to say that family wasn’t 2-3 doors down. Why does someone need to be in the same room as the child that is sleeping. Only a highly paranoid parent would sit in the same room and watch them sleep waiting for them to wake up.
@@genesisansbro4936 Are you comparing being in another room in the same house, to leaving to a restaurant?? Because that’s what they did. They went to dinner at a restaurant.
@@leew2400 again you don’t know if a family member was close by and ready for the phone call “they’re awake, we’re going to finish up and be there in 15 minutes”. I don’t know this either but I can’t sit here and say “they’re lying, they’re covering up” like that’s so unfair and straight jumping to conclusions and going off of what you saw in short clips that are edited and taken at different time frames 😂
You could sink a boat with the amount of holes in that story. It just sounded like they were telling people what they wanted to hear.
No pun intended 😂 I agree
I don’t believe them. I think they made this story up together to save their ass.
Definitely. That response video was so scripted it’s not even funny
If they had someone with the kids, why would they need to FaceTime the monitor 💀
They’re backtracking lmao
I just have to say this. They were wearing white/light colors. A tactic used to suggest innocence. To me it looks more like manipulation.
Does anyone find it bizarre how Abby won’t look at the camera? Her eyes are glued to Matt
Lmao why is she looking at him like that 😂😂😂😂
I just commented the same damn thing LMFAO it’s givingI little kid waiting on dad to stop talking. It’s literally giving abuse though it’s really messed up.
Look… they had no adults there and they packed for this trip with the intent to leave the kids alone - why else would anyone ever pack their baby monitors??? Those are for the home when you’re leaving your child unattended in a room. Period.
They’re 💯 lying. Shes a terrible liar, it’s just like when she said she wasn’t “hurt” when he said it was different “pre-kid” to “after kid/s”… they should’ve just hired P.R 🤦🏼♀️😆 use your social media currency elsewhere, the math isn’t mathing. They “watched” their kids via FaceTime. So all you moms can go to the “bar around the block” as long as your on FaceTime 🤦🏼♀️ (Joking, Clearly).
And that is the problem, people look to them for parenting ideas/tips.
They are so lying. No WAY they didn’t plan to leave those kids unattended, even showed proof on her story then deleted it because backlash. WOW. Nice try. We see through it
I don't believe them. None of it makes any type of sense lol. You can tell she's been crying before they started filming (stress from all the backlash im sure) and I believe her & her husband came up with a story to back themselves up. You made a horrible mistake, just own up to it, nobody is perfect. You have to learn from this.
If my math is mathing they would need 3 phones to pull this off, one in the room to FaceTime the monitors, one in hand to be on the other end of face time and one to take picture of phone being used?
Five phones? the kids were in separate rooms so two phones one in each room, two that are called into each rooms phone and the fifth to take the pic? Wild
No, the monitors most likely have apps that are on their phones and watch that way… 5 phones?! Really? 😂😂
@@dabsallday9938 if they have an app to see the monitors on their phone why say they were FACETIMING THEM? To FaceTime another phone would have to be in the room.
If they were ridiculous enough to bring baby monitors to a cruise then I wouldn’t put it past them to bring some old phones to keep in the room connected to WiFi to use FaceTime.
I believe they deleted ALL the videos from their vacation so nobody could piece together who was with who at what time.
They're only back peddling now because I can just imagine the influx of calls to CPS about the situation.
She would have mentioned that someone was watching them when she posted the original IG story. She would have said something about getting a sitter so they could have a dinner on their own. If it is rage bait, shame on them for using their kids as pawns.
Omg wait the kids they’re talking about are ONE and TWO and in separate rooms?!!?! Cps needs to get involved at this point.
If one wakes up, the other doesn't get woken up. Only one crying baby at a time, other is resting. Mom sleeps with one, dad with the other. Pretty common practice for tired families. No need for everyone to walk around like a zombie if one munchkin has a rough night.
But that shouldn't be the conversation. If they left their kids alone, with no family members in a room next to their rooms... That's rookie mistake and they need to use more imagination/common sense and care more about their kids. Though they're influencers, airing out their whole life...
how concerned with safety can they be if they decided to keep that up after their kids were born.
@@allice1643Pretty irresponsible to me! Maybe they should have taken proper precautions so they didn’t have two so close together?!
Nahh Abby posted it thinking it was a cute mom hack and now the backlash has them both backtracking. She's always stuck with the kids because Matt is the most present deadbeat of all time but this is ridiculous. They have more than enough money to hire someone to care for their kids if they want a kid free trip.
If they wanted to have child-free dinners so frequently, they shouldn’t have had kids at all
the comments on their apology are wild. "really caring parents" yeaaah, who constantly bitch and moan about being parents and having babies.....they're so pressed that they rushed to have kids and now can't have hella date nights and vacations.
matt and abby: nobody forced you to have kids! you did this to yourself! you wanted to be young parents but forgot the part where you actually had to parent...😮
being a parent (young or old) IS NOT A TREND. it's now your full-time job for the rest of your life.
Scary thing is, at one point Abby said she wants five kids. They need to start looking after the two they’ve already got! They both still trying to live carefree single lives. They need to grow up and realise they have real responsibilities now!
If we want them to go away block them. I hate rage bait stuff most all influencers are blocked on my socials. I literally could care less what they do and they certainly don’t care about me. Our views give them power take that away.
The way I rolled my eyes so hard🙄 crazy half assed excuse oh my god -10/10 for no use of creativity for that lie.
I’m sorry, but the way Abby just sits staring at him while he talks and his demeanor gives abusive relationship. I mean it’s not the first time that it’s given that, but the body language in this is so awful. It’s not even arguable.
The thing is, yes you are gonna make parenting mistakes. I look back and cringe sometimes at choices I made early in my first kid. But brother
Leaving children alone is a NO GO. Not from me , not from anyone . I have a Ex friend who dose this and her parenting is legit what made me stop talking to her. We had been friends since teens.
Mistakes are bound to happen, child endangerment, and neglect is horrifying
They clearly dont know about cases like the Mccann's. They also probably thought they found a good solution to enjoy dinner and look at how it ended. Joking or rage bating about this it's very distasteful
if they really had a family member there then they could’ve facetimed with that persons phone, no baby monitored would’ve been necessary
Matt is a freaking narcissist I can’t stand him and I wouldn’t be surprised if Abby suffers from a lot of his manipulation. Not that she’s innocent in this matter, I’ve just thought this about Matt for a long time
Those kids are one and two years old. I PROMISE they will be fine at the play area for a couple hours a day for one week that they won’t even remember. I understand not wanting them to be miserable, but it would be better that they’re watched by someone than stuck in a room alone with access to a balcony over the open ocean 🤷🏻♀️
It doesn’t make sense. If someone was in the room, why was their phone on a tripod? And why didn’t she mention that at the time? It’s BS, they’re just annoyed they had to have kids on the cruise.
It crazy that there are people that will defend others that even slightly put their kids in danger … Like women who are on the phone while their children are running around being unsupervised then gets hit by a car & they want to blame everyone but themselves ! Pathetic . He’s weird , she’s weird , it’s giving “why did I have kids , I want to have fun”
The weird thing is they went on a spiel about how all those people were there but they didn't actually name the one person who was watching them at the time. They were like oh Abby's Grandma's there etc etc. Why didn't they say something like oh Abby's Grandma watch the kids while we ate? Or Abby's mom watch the kids while we ate? Because there wasn't actually someone there probably
Agreed, if a family member was watching them then why would they have even posted about the baby monitor instead of just saying “we had great grandma watch them so we could go to dinner”. Also if they truly did have family there, I’d assume they’d have at least one picture with one of them? A quick scroll of her Instagram and you can see Abby has posted her family members before so it’s not like it’s respect for their privacy? I don’t follow either of them so maybe I’m wrong, but assuming they were posting stories throughout the cruise, was there any sign anywhere of family being around? Also a bit off putting that they immediately started posting like normal but have their comments restricted
I would have had more respect for them taking accountability and admitting they had bad justment and made a huge mistake. They should tell their followers not to do what they did and the reasons why. Them lying is just making it worse. The only ones who actually believe them are their delusional followers.
They have left the kid or kids alone before “I can’t remember if their 2nd was in the picture yet) but they left a kid alone to go to the neighbors once for pizza when they just moved in
Roll that beautiful bean footage of them on date nights, vacations, and other trips without their kids!
Why would they even try daycare in the first place if there’s “sooo many relatives” on board with them clearly “willing” to watch their kids…
Manly matt takes his role as a parent very serious. We just speculating 😤
I CANT EVEN LMAO
I asked my dad his thoughts on the situation and he says it is a dangerous decision to do that. Even if they did have a nanny cam.
They messed up. They thought they had a hack and people would think it was genius.
whaaaaaatttt!!!! I haven’t heard of this yet but holy hell… I WOULD NEVER leave my son by himself ever let alone on a cruise ship. Anyone could have taken them omg I am in shock
Did anyone else clock the "speculate and believe" wording? They 100% (allegedly) consulted a lawyer before posting the video and (allegedly) most likely deleted their vids under advice from a lawyer.
But that is just my personal opinion and not intended to be taken as a verified fact at at all. 😉
Anyone who believes or sides with Matt and Abby are delusional! Matt and Abby are known for being selfish and ALWAYS wanting “kid free” vacations, dinners, and alone time. Also to the people who blame them for being “young” is just a poor excuse, it’s common sense to not leave kids alone at all, period! I’m a 20 yr old mother and have NEVER left my baby girls side at all, and that says A LOT. So shame on Matt and Abby and her family for not pulling Abby up and making sure someone was with the boys while they had dinner 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
The thing that gives me the ick about this the most is that they probably posted about this while they were sitting at dinner. In real time. When both of them are famous and on a cruise ship. That alone is just risky as shit if you ask me
They def left those babies alone
I hate to break it to you all.......but it's very common for parents to leave their littles in the room with a monitor while they go upstairs to party on cruise. Shocking, I know. Lmao I don't agree with it, and I personally wouldn't do that with my little one. But this level of backlash is comical. This is what the majority of parents on cruises do.
and thats why lots of kidnappings happen on cruises...
besides, I think being influencers broadcasting to the world that they're leaving their kids alone and unattended in a room is practically begging for someone to come and kidnap them
I agree. Many parents do way worse daily.
@@spectre9340- I'm not in any way meaning for this to sound negative, I just have truly never heard of someone being kidnapped on a cruise ship. Has this happened recently? Not that I'm leaving my kids alone on a cruise lol I'm genuinely just curious because I've never heard this before.
@@jlgunn922kidnapping and cases of SA are actually pretty high on cruises
That’s why they need to go to jail for child endangerment and neglect. Plus they honestly act like the babies ruined their lives. CPS needs to investigate and require parenting classes, because their kids will drown next at this point of how much they neglect them.
OMG THE UPDATED PFP 🫢
Still can't get over how awesome this turned out!
How awesome what turned out? Why is there 30 likes in 20 minutes 🧐
He is so condescending
Matt is giving Austin McBrooms long lost cousin vibes 🙄
I mentioned this to my mum, she raised 3 children between 1997 and 2019 (when her youngest, me, turned 14). During this time, we went for family holidays every now and then. She said that if you go on holiday with your children, the holidays needs to be suitable for the CHILDREN. Someone should always be with your children, whether thats you, a family member or staff of a kids club. Even when at home, my mum would be reluctant to leave 10 year old me just to walk over to the shops, which is a 5 minute walk away. It may be extreme, but at this time there was the jamie bulger case and madeline mccann, so my mum would always have eyes on us. I was a runner as a child, so that made it worse. Still, THEY LEFT 2 CHILDREN ON THEIR OWN
People would do anything for money and notoriety these days even get married and have children when they clearly don’t want it. These two are the epitome of that situation.
It is totally possible that she had family members close by ( not in the room) but someone that could potentially reach the child. It still leaves a lot of scope for errors and risks. Network is shitty onboard, there is crowd and events and rooms are far away. My gripe is also that they should have clarified that they had family close by, in the room etc.if they wanted to declare this as a life hack. I get the vacation was tough with kids although really on a cruise ship you can plan naps, swimming, food many things at your own pace. My issue is promoting ideas like its ok to leave your child alone in a cruise ship is dangerous to many many immature parents. She has followers who could totally try this with bad results.
Its in abbys EYES from the fathers day podcast she seem
uncomfortable and its like matt has control over her like he has a g*n behind her telling her what to say, do and act something deffo happening behind the camera
My opinion
They are so milktoast, dull, and boring. Why would anybody watch them while Matt has his shirt on? There’s no point.
She wrote exactly what she did! If that's not the case what did she ACTUALLY mean?! They didn't clear anything up
They just said "oh I didn't mean what I actually wrote"
I understand they're young and learning but just take ownership of your mistake...also didn't know this but supposedly Matt told Abby she feels "different" down below since birthing 2 kids, like please be a jerk and tell your wife she's looser after kids. He has lots of growing up to do.
I just know they were celebrating when those big news outlets were talking about them.
At this point, if an influencer is wearing white in their apology video ….i think they’re full of 💩
charges should be pressed against them!! as a mom i could never imagine thinking that it would be okay to do that
I dont think he loves being a dad . To be honest that’s what it looks like .
It's no question that these two are lying. The math isn't mathing for sure. Abbey's face looks so full of shame like she wishes she never posted any of that.
It’s giving Madeleine McCann
I can’t stand when parents complain/whine about their vacation because their little kids didn’t enjoy it. The first couple trips we took our daughter on were rough but we still enjoyed it.
Really the blackout tent? How is that going to affect their sleep. They’ll never be able to sleep during the day without their blackout tent. Good job crazy ass millennial parents
They’re not Millennials, they’re crazy ass Gen Z parents
They are not millennials though, they are gen Z at 26 and 25 years old. :D But agreed, the whole thing is crazy.
i don’t think they’re rage baiting, i think they’re literally just that ignorant
IMO, Matt is a bit more of a believable liar, but Abby is not. But that's obviously not a compliment to Matt, it's more concerning he isn't much different than usual. It makes me more worried about what he's capable of lying about. But what gives it away for me is Matt's wording. And obviously Abby not looking at the camera when she never has an issue with that generally. It's the way they're both acting. Him saying "It's simply untrue -" He could just say it's not true at all. He could be a bit more natural sounding. But with Abby, her tone has completely changed, not looking at the camera, has clearly been crying. The overly friendly tone, the exaggerated head nods and being too agreeable and appeasing to the viewers. It's manipulative. All she sounds and looks like is that she got caught. If it wasn't true she wouldn't have any reason to cry.
Clearly wearing the all white everyone already knows about. I don't buy it for one second. Obviously it has room to still be untrue, but I think they're both crap at lying.
No bc their original posts make no sense if they had someone in their family watching their kids. Why would they go on and on about how the monitor was the solution to their kids not wanting to go to the nursery if the actual solution was having a baby sitter?
If having the kids on board with them was such a hassle, why didn’t they just get a sitter and keep them at home?
If there was somebody with them then why exactly would they go through all the trouble to set up monitors and FaceTime them? Total bs. They're full of it.
Oh i thought there would be comments
Same
Feels so illegal to be this early
Very irresponsible PARENTS.
Let this had been a black couple, mfs would’ve been calling CPS like crazy
Trying to save your own ass is crazy
I think they’re lying and backpedaling SO HARD because a lot of the comments were suggesting that people call CPS on them & if that happens then it ruins the imagine they try too hard to create.
You are so talented, keep making videos!
Honestly these two shouldn’t have had children so young
Take responsibility you guys were not ready to be parents. They did not want it.
I’m gonna be mean but they don’t seem very intellectually inclined. They should know better in general, never post about your kids, never leave your kids unattended, never leave them in unfamiliar surrounding especially in a fkn cruise. The levels and hoops you have to justify child endangerment, because that’s what this is, is crazy. They could have just left them with their grand parents. There’s soooo many ways this oppies could have gone wrong, I’m glad that people are calling them out. Honestly they should be glad this is the worst that happened.
I originally said I felt bad for Abby cause Matt is clearly abusive…but girl what is this???😭
